Paris and Disneyland

 

As a treat and to wrap up the Summer Term - the boys at Wetherby Prep went on a 3 night's trip to Paris to visit Disneyland and to have a boat party with a DJ on the River Seine - just how spoilt are these boys?!

Here I"m dropping him off at Kings Cross where they were catching the Eurostar.

  Back in my days I was lucky if my school took us for a day trip to the local farm to pet some animals haha!

 July 2022 and school's out for Summer! Wetherby Prep arranged a price giving for the boys and Sean collected one (look at the size of it - and him for that matter!) for "Outstanding Peer Mentoring Achievement" - Guess if Mamma was bursting with pride?! 

 Well done Seany boy! 

On to Wetherby Senior after the holidays - can't wait to see what you do next x

Back to school

It's that time of the year when all parents breath a sigh of relief after 8 weeks of holiday, and it was no different for me!
Our apartment is now nice and tidy, very quiet and no "Mamma this, Mamma that".

Both bambinos started a new school, both in Marylebone within five minutes walk which is a blessing. Kitted out in their new uniforms and eager to get back, I dropped them the other day and enjoyed a very silent 7 hours at home lol. 

I think it's safe to say we've had a fantastic fulfilled Summer but everyone is now happy to get back in to our routines. 

Whoop Whoop Wetherby!

Last Thursday Sean sat assessment exams for one of London's best schools, Wetherby. 

So we were  absolutely thrilled to receive a letter yesterday confirming that he had passed the gruelling three hour tests as well as the assessment and has now secured his place in year 6. I was jumping for joy all day and am still grinning!

There is such a lot of pressure on parents and kids in London to secure a place in your preferred senior school. It's almost become like a competitive sport as there are thousands of kids competing for very limited spaces.

We put in a lot of work preparing for the tests in English and Maths and practised mock exams and potential interview questions and so we're delighted that the hard work paid off.

We can all relax now knowing that Sean's education through to age 18 is secure (and conveniently here in Marylebone too!) and we can avoid the pressure of the 11+ process next year. Well done Seany we are bursting with pride!
